Friday is Lume-Day . . . Back from the Spa!!

It's Friday, at least for our friends in Europe, Africa and Asia, so let's start the "Watch You Wearing" thread, with this one, recently back from the spa.

As they say in email chains,

start at the bottom . . . to see the seller's eBay photo
the middle is my photo of the watch, as received from seller
the top photo shows how it looks on my wrist right now, after its spa treatment . . . cleaning, new crystal, some work on the hands, etc.

Expect to see a fourth photo soon, with a fresh new bezel. But don't worry, I'll hang on to the original one.
It turns out that the movement was excellent and the dial looked absolutely pristine under that battered crystal. Yes, this was the previous owner's daily watch; might have been worn every day, for the last 50 years!!
So what are you wearing today? Applied markers; Arabic numerals; painted markers; etc., etc.
Thanks to everyone for another wonderful week in the world of vintage Heuers. Hard to believe that it started, at least for me, with the launch of the TAG Heuer Connected Watch, and now I'm back to this old Autavia!!
